38th FISITA World Congress - call for student papers

The 38th FISITA World Congress held in Prague, Czech Republic, from 14 to 18 September 2020, will provide the perfect opportunity for students and young engineers to learn, exchange knowledge and network with international colleagues as well as experts and leaders from industry and academia.

The Czech Automotive Society has designed a number of activities for students and young engineers at FISITA 2020 – these start before and lead into the Congress as well as take place throughout the event. Initiatives will include Student Papers, Travelling Fellowship Programme, Educating the Mobility Engineers of Tomorrow (EMET) Panel and the opportunity to showcase mobility engineering projects from university teams within the Islands of Excellence competition. For the first time, Virtual Islands of Excellence will be presented during the Congress, giving engineering students from around the world the unique opportunity to present and discuss their research projects remotely to a global audience.

Students will be provided with the unique opportunity to present a technical paper for the first time as part of the main Congress – student papers will be incorporated within the Congress sessions as a full paper with a student attribute. This means students can directly interact with mobility experts who can immediately assess the benefits of the student work and discuss their future development steps.

Full-time undergraduate and postgraduate engineering students are invited to apply – not only will you qualify for a reduced rate you will also benefit from direct interaction with experts. Students can share knowledge, work with their peers and listen to key speakers from the mobility industry.
